Being informed, police reached the spot and asked them to release the woman. But the villagers did not pay any heed. Later, Umerkote police station IIC Birendra Kumar Senapati and ASI Sahadeb Chanda with the help of some women cops tried to rescue Parvati.

However, some irked villagers resisted and even attacked the cops, following which three police personnel including the IIC sustained injuries. The angry mob also vandalised the police vehicle.
